A coworker of mine was assaulted by a customer. Gravitycollapse Jul 2014 #22

Did you expect these kinds of replies here? nt redqueen Jul 2014 #25

Yes and no. Gravitycollapse Jul 2014 #39

A little more explanation please whistler162 Jul 2014 #30

Seems like a lot of stern advice is being provided lately as though everyone needs it. nt Dreamer Tatum Jul 2014 #38

If you think this is stern advice, then it was written for you. Gravitycollapse Jul 2014 #41

Oops, I meant self-justifying stern advice. Dreamer Tatum Jul 2014 #44

This is sort of a litmus test. Gravitycollapse Jul 2014 #72

Then I'm reminding you not to rape anyone. Dreamer Tatum Jul 2014 #75

Absolutely, rape is a horrific wrong. Gravitycollapse Jul 2014 #77

Then don't do it, OK? nt Dreamer Tatum Jul 2014 #79

I absolutely agree. I would never rape someone. It is a terrible thing to do. Gravitycollapse Jul 2014 #90

Welcome to du, again uppityperson Jul 2014 #14

The persistence suggests some strange desperation. cyberswede Jul 2014 #15

Notice which feminist subjects which rile them up the most. It is illuminating. nt redqueen Jul 2014 #16

Most illuminating indeed! arcane1 Jul 2014 #17

Aw - I see I missed him again. More desperate than I even imagined! cyberswede Jul 2014 #23

Indeed. The loser complains that "we're all sick to death of hearing about them" arcane1 Jul 2014 #63

Exactly so tkmorris Jul 2014 #66

I love hugs, but not everyone does, MineralMan Jul 2014 #74

Damn Straight. Warren DeMontague Jul 2014 #20

Bwaaahaaa! cyberswede Jul 2014 #24

I hear "unpleasant unwanted touching and inappropriate personal boundary violation" Warren DeMontague Jul 2014 #27

Wow. Who knew? Thanks for the heads-up. Comrade Grumpy Jul 2014 #21

Who knew a hug doesnt allow you to assault a Woman? randys1 Jul 2014 #35

I guess I should have used the sarcasm thingie. Comrade Grumpy Jul 2014 #54

I'm a side hugger... trumad Jul 2014 #26

Yep. Side-hugs are the way to go. Nye Bevan Jul 2014 #40

snarf--- trumad Jul 2014 #45

Does this apply only to women? Quantess Jul 2014 #28

Of course not. cyberswede Jul 2014 #31

Well, you never know what a person is thinking... Quantess Jul 2014 #36

I think they were referring to a specific incident cyberswede Jul 2014 #49

Yes - see post #22. Puts the OP a lot more in context. nomorenomore08 Jul 2014 #51

Apparently. MannyGoldstein Jul 2014 #62

You misspelled 'drunk'. nt redqueen Jul 2014 #34

*sporrffle* cyberswede Jul 2014 #50

Message auto-removed Name removed Jul 2014 #42

Of course it doesn't. Iggo Jul 2014 #43

Careful - you're next on the list. Dreamer Tatum Jul 2014 #47

See but here's the thing Iggo... redqueen Jul 2014 #48

Just from reading this thread, Quantess Jul 2014 #46

I am not a hugger by inclination. AngryAmish Jul 2014 #52

I'm the same BainsBane Jul 2014 #61

My mother hugged me yesterday for my birthday CBGLuthier Jul 2014 #70

Ah yes the hug ismnotwasm Jul 2014 #53

What have I missed? Jenoch Jul 2014 #55

Of course this actually applies to everyone and not just men hugging women... Threedifferentones Jul 2014 #56

Off topic... cyberswede Jul 2014 #100

Is it still cool to say "aw yeah, this feels so good"? NightWatcher Jul 2014 #57

You shouldn't be hugging on people whom you don't trust to feel you up either. F4lconF16 Jul 2014 #101

Being American, I make it a practice never to touch anyone, or to smile at them, or to make LTX Jul 2014 #58

Me giving a person I'm not dating a hug isn't giving them permission to grope my ass. moriah Jul 2014 #73

Ask me on a date, then, if you want to test the waters. moriah Jul 2014 #98

And people were wondering why the OP was made. F4lconF16 Jul 2014 #102

Such comments make us wonder about the context for the post. tblue37 Jul 2014 #71

I structured my post so that context does not matter. Gravitycollapse Jul 2014 #76

But then what is the point of the post? It is like saying tblue37 Jul 2014 #80

Oh, there's a point to it. nt Dreamer Tatum Jul 2014 #83

OK--then could you explain it to me? nt tblue37 Jul 2014 #84

No, exposing the point would just provoke more re-education. nt Dreamer Tatum Jul 2014 #85

Re-education the usual suspects feign to disdain Tetris_Iguana Jul 2014 #88

I want you to take a step back and realize that you're trolling a thread about not assaulting women. Gravitycollapse Jul 2014 #89

One would think if the point were so self-evident BainsBane Jul 2014 #96

And visa versa! AgingAmerican Jul 2014 #81

I appreciate and approve of the message Tetris_Iguana Jul 2014 #87

There are very few things prerequisite to a political ideology. Gravitycollapse Jul 2014 #92

The whole thread gave me an earworm of Fred Small's song "The Hug" Jim Lane Jul 2014 #103
